Position Introduction:

Are you a strategic healthcare leader who is passionate about improving lives through innovative, community-focused care? We are seeking an experienced and collaborative leader to oversee the operational and clinical success of our community-based case management programs. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact by leading high-performing teams, driving operational excellence, and ensuring exceptional services for individuals and families across Oklahoma.

As the Director of Community-Based Case Management Programs, you will serve as a key member of the leadership team, partnering closely with the Executive Director to shape the strategic direction of the department while ensuring the successful day-to-day operation of multiple revenue-generating clinical programs. This position offers the unique opportunity to balance strategic planning with hands-on operational leadership, helping to advance programs that directly improve access to quality healthcare services within the communities we serve.

The ideal candidate is an accomplished healthcare leader who thrives in a dynamic environment where collaboration, innovation, and accountability are essential. You will guide multidisciplinary teams, foster a positive and engaging workplace culture, and empower employees through coaching, professional development, and leadership. Your ability to build strong relationships with staff, healthcare providers, community organizations, funding partners, and executive leadership will be instrumental in expanding program impact and strengthening organizational partnerships.

Success in this role requires a leader who is equally comfortable evaluating operational performance, interpreting data, improving business processes, and implementing strategic initiatives that enhance quality, compliance, and financial sustainability. You will help ensure programs consistently meet regulatory requirements while identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, strengthen service delivery, and achieve organizational goals. Your leadership will directly influence the quality of care provided to members, the engagement of staff, and the continued growth of the department. We are looking for a professional with a strong background in healthcare operations, clinical program management, and employee leadership who enjoys solving complex challenges and leading organizational change.

The successful candidate demonstrates sound judgment, excellent communication skills, and the ability to make informed decisions in a fast-paced environment while maintaining a strong commitment to integrity, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Candidates must possess a bachelor's degree in Nursing, Public Health Administration, or another health-related field (or an approved education and experience equivalent) and have at least two years of management experience in a healthcare setting. A master's degree in Social Work, Nursing, Public Health, Healthcare Administration, or a related health field is strongly preferred. Registered Nurses must maintain an active Oklahoma RN license, and certain programs may require additional certifications based on operational needs.

If you are a visionary leader who is passionate about developing people, improving healthcare operations, and creating meaningful change within community-based services, we invite you to join our team and help shape the future of care for the populations we serve.
